Thank you, that answers why the title is what is it. I was wondering why it was trying to be the title equivalent of the film trailer showing all the good jokes in it, and too long by half.

never understood appeal of brown elves, they just look like all those dumb bitches with fake tan so thick - it's borderline blackface
this low effort HS2 models doesn't help either

What are these stupid socks in all the scenes? It looks disgusting. I hope at least in the future this crap will not happen and we will be able to see normal scenes. After all, dark elves are a rarity in games and look pretty good.

I know that for everyone as they get older they think, "Kids these days don't know what we had when I was a kid..."
This is one of those things. How many younger anime fans these days know of Lodoss War?

I dunno, but I was trying to not be a pedant and point out the missing 'Record of' part of the title after seeing it come up.
Guess I failed at that...

I can't get past the overlapping use of "brown elven girlfriend" and the term "dark elf."
It is long established, and rather universal, that the term "dark elf" does NOT simply mean tanned/brown/melanin rich skin.
A "dark elf" is a drow, and they do not, and cannot, have brown skin.
Their skin is black--not "black person" black, but BLACK black, like vantablack, like "it absorbs all light entirely" black,
because they are made of shadow, and darkness, and evil.
Sometimes, some blue or purple shading is thrown in to hyperbolically represent how dark black they are. This comes from visual art (and especially comics) where blue/purple is used to clarify that something is uncommonly dark black (usually hair).
In modern times, the reason we persist with this tradition is to make it clear that "dark elves" are NOT just "elves with dark skin," because "dark elves" are traditionally evil, and suggesting that an elf with "human black" skin (i.e. brown) is inherently evil would be considered highly racist.
For the love of god I beg you, DO NOT conflate "brown elves" with "dark elves." The world does not need that shit right now.
